Abstract: A method for controlling intake throttling for a diesel engine provided with an exhaust gas soot catcher, which also has an intake throttling valve for restricting intake air, thus heating the exhaust gases for purging the soot catcher. The intake throttling valve is controlled by selecting a target opening amount for the intake throttling valve, and by altering the actual opening amount of the intake throttling valve, if substantially different from this target opening amount, in the direction of the target opening amount. The rate of change of the actual opening amount of the intake throttling valve is made to be greater when the difference between the actual opening amount of the intake throttling valve and the target opening amount for the intake throttling valve is greater, and is smaller when the difference between the actual opening amount of the intake throttling valve and the target opening amount is smaller. Apparatus is also described for controlling an intake throttling valve in this manner.

Abstract: A power amplifier in which a DC power supply is coupled to a load through a switching element, a smoothing circuit, and an output amplifying element. The output amplifying element receives an input signal voltage to be amplified. A voltage detecting circuit is provided which compares a feedback voltage proportional to an output volgage of the smoothing circuit with the input signal voltage to switch the switching element, thereby varying both the power supply voltage of output amplifying element and the load output voltage in accordance with the input signal voltage. As the output voltage of the smoothing circuit is compared with the input signal voltage, the delay of the change of the power supply voltage of the output amplifying element relative to the load output voltage can be reduced, and the generation of distortion and the lowering of efficiency can be suppressed.

Abstract: In a device for regulating the air supply of an internal combustion engine supercharged by a turbo-compressor unit driven in rotation by the engine's exhaust, the intake of the rotating compressor is controlled by an intake regulation (or gating) system capable of reducing the compressive effect of the rotor of the compressor. Control elements of said regulation (or gating) system are connected with the accelerator linkage so as to close the regulation (or gating) system and reduce the compressive effect to the maximum degree when the accelerator moves toward the idling position of the engine.

Abstract: A pump injector sends a premetered quantity of fuel to a needle type injector of the type including a piston and a discharge chamber. The injector includes a compression piston mechanically controlled by cam or eccentric having any form. The compression piston compresses fuel within a compression chamber.

These ring segments consist of a portion of a cylindrical band (17) on whose edges are provided two collars (18, 19) of unequal thickness. The thicker collar (18) is placed between the upper wall of the transverse score (7) made in the projection (6) and the upper wall (8) of the rotor (1). The cylindrical band (17) works in conjunction with the bottom of the circumferential score (11). The thinnest collar (19) leans against the upper wall of the groove. The two segments placed end to end leave between them a space corresponding to the width of one axial notch. By displacing the ring segments in the score, the space is brought opposite the blade to be changed.
